We part- ner with community groups and neighborhood coalitions, and in the process we multiply our collective capacity to address the problems of underrepresented New Yorkers. We partner with advocacy groups and other legal services providers, and along the way we strengthen the litigation and advocacy we conduct on behalf of our clients. At the heart of our strategy of partnering for justice is our community lawyering approach. We call it community lawyering because it begins and ends with community concerns. Our role is to advocate, educate, organize, and lit- igate in support of community members’ vision for themselves.
